Montmartre attacks

The Montmartre attacks was a series of ambushes carried out by the French Resistance against occupying German forces in the Montmartre district of Paris in August 1940 during World War II. Resistance fighter Sean Devlin was supplied with dynamite from black marketeer Carlos Santos, and he set about using it for the first time as an independent fighter. He blew up an occupation tower, assassinated a Wehrmacht officer, and destroyed a German armored car, weakening the German presence in Montmartre. These attacks were his first attempts at fully liberating districts from Nazi occupation.
